Big brands like Epson and Canon have verification chips on their proprietary ink containers and also ‘read ink levels’ that simply stop your printer from functioning even if it has ink if their cartridges drip below a certain level, sometimes as high as 50%. It’s a scammy practice to fraudulently sell you more ink even if you haven’t run out but the ink is now considered out of date or some bullshit.
I assume this is a way to circumvent your printers crap and make it print until the ink runs out. The websites not particularly clear on that.
look into chipless printing.

I’ve never needed to change a printer chip, so this doesn’t look useful to me. Did I misunderstand something?

Ah, that. Nice to know there’s a way around it.
